Today, people look for (and find) nature experiences there – and the start of the last stage of the Salzkammergut BergeSeen Trail. And this stage also offers a whole series of interesting points of experience – from the gravel banks of the alpine pasture, over the legendary Laudachsee, to the "local mountain" of **Gmunden**. **Directions:** From the tourism office in the ÖAV mountaineering village Grünau, follow the main street downstream to the nearby Raiffeisen bank. Behind it, turn left onto the Flößerweg, pass the outdoor pool, and cross the Grünau creek bridge. Walk 300 m along the alpine pasture until you cross the alpine pasture on a footbridge to the left behind the inn "Einkehr". On the other side, hike downstream along the river on the Flößerweg through the riverside forest and past the Redlmühle weir. In the district **Almegg**, about 3.5 km away, you pass under the state road. After another 1.5 km on the Flößerweg next to the alpine pasture, turn left onto Grubbachstraße and go up to the train station **Kothmühle** (528 m). 1:15 h Left to the state road, beside it turn right over the railway crossing and after 250 m turn left onto the farm road "Zu Brunn". After 400 m turn right onto the forest path, follow it to the junction of Schaumburgweg and continue left through the settlement. Straight ahead across an intersection and then about 800 m on Mayrhofstraße to a cross street near an airfield, past a modern chapel. A few steps to the right, then left onto a signposted footpath across the meadow to the farm road "**Hochbuchegg**", where you follow signs to **Laudachsee** (No. 413). Through switchbacks up the forest and meadow slopes below Steineck (there are shortcut paths here and there). This leads to the farm **Hochbuchegg** (742 m). 45 minutes There begins the roughly 6 km crossing to Laudachsee. On the forest road (No. 413) into the forest and then left on a path uphill. From 800 m altitude, you march again on the forest road to the hunting lodge in the **Schrattenau** (981 m). Past a junction and immediately left. Then you can always follow the signs to "Laudachsee" and detour a bit right on a path. Finally, the last signpost turns right down to Laudachsee (914 m) – there you will be rewarded with a dream view of the rock triangle of **Katzenstein** (1,349 m) and the much mightier **Traunstein** (1,691 m). Beside the swampy northern shore, you quickly reach Ramsaualm, first mentioned in the year 1285, which today offers a delightful stop. 2:00 h **Tip:** **Note:** The Grünberg cable car runs until 5 pm (in July/August on weekends with good weather until 6 pm. Current operating times: [www.gruenberg.info](http://www.gruenberg.info) **Note:** Bus connection (line 533) from Grünau to Gmunden (train station). Traunsee tram from the Gmunden Seebahnhof to Gmunden station. **Safety guidelines:** - In alpine terrain, beware of danger from falling rocks. - Until early summer, you may encounter steep snowfields or firn runs there – especially in icy conditions, there is acute danger of falling and thus life-threatening! - Due to storm damage, forestry work, or construction measures, some sections of the path may be temporarily difficult or even impossible to pass. - Cows on the alpine pastures are often curious. Due to mother-cow husbandry, they develop a strong instinct to protect their calves. So move calmly on cow pastures, keep at least 20 m distance from the animals, and do not pet calves under any circumstances! In case of threatening gestures (scratching, stomping), slowly step backward (do not turn your back). Keep dogs on a leash; they may not bark at or chase cows. In case of an attack, you must definitely let the dog off the leash. **Equipment:** For all stages, you need hiking or mountaineering shoes with profiled rubber soles as well as wind- and rainproof clothing. Reserve clothes for changing and a small first aid kit should also be in the backpack. How much food you pack depends on the number of places to stop. In any case, you should bring enough to drink. Telescopic poles are especially helpful when going downhill. **Additional information:** Text kindly provided by the [KOMPASS](https://kompass.at) publishing house and Wolfgang Heitzmann.

Jahrhundert. Der Schwerpunkt Keramik zieht sich als „Roter Faden“ durch sämtliche Ausstellungsräume. **Erd- und Kulturgeschichte im K-Hof.** Naturraum und Bodenschätze am Traunsee beeinflussten die kulturgeschichtliche Entwicklung der Menschen. Salz prägte über Jahrhunderte die Wirtschaft der Stadt. „Traunsee-Marmor“ dient bis heute als wertvoller Baustein. Ton ist der Rohstoff für die Herstellung der Gmundner Keramik. Weltbekannte Fossilien aus dem „Gschliefgraben“ sind Zeugen der wechselvollen Erdgeschichte. Traun und Traunsee, die in und nach den Eiszeiten entstanden waren, begünstigen Verkehrswege und Tourismus. Gegen Voranmeldung werden für Gruppen auch das Schleifen und Polieren von Steinen sowie geführte Wanderungen entlang des Gmundner Jahrtausendwegs und zum Gschliefgraben angeboten. **Sanitärgeschichte im K-Hof**. Als kulturhistorischer Beitrag zur Geschichte der Gebrauchskeramik präsentiert sich das weltweit einzigartige Museum für historische Sanitärobjekte im K-Hof. Es beleuchtet neben der Sanitärkeramikproduktion auch den Wandel bei den Hygienestandards und vermittelt zudem eine spannende Geschichte rund ums sogenannte „Stille Örtchen“. Auch wenn die Erfindung des neuzeitlichen Wasserklosetts bereits in das ausgehende 16. Jahrhundert datiert, dauerte es noch lange, bis es Leibstühle, Zimmerklosetts oder Nachttöpfe in den Haushalten verdrängen sollte.
